Playing what-if's: If Ben is (gasp!) out for the season would you want Favre to replace him?

Ok, this might seem a bit unconventional for a first thread, but here goes:

If things turn out to be bad for Ben (which hopefully wont be the case) would you want Lefty or Batch replacing him OR would you want the front office to hop down to Hattiesburg and get Brett Favre off the tracter. Who would give the Steelers a better chance for a playoff run?

It's unconventional to say the least but I like the idea. If Favre is in decent shape and doesn't get killed in the first three quarters he can throw it better than Lefty. After all Michael Vick was away from the game for a long time and he had a great first season with the Eagles. Obviously it won't happen but it would be fun to watch.

I would like to see Ben play this weekend: BUT if not we can still get it done with Leftwich/Batch: The Ravens defense is NOT was it use to be. In there last three games, they gave up a 200 rusher twice, They are without the best ILB and the best CB, Suggs is back, but in name only. He is like the Steelers James Harrison, YES he is out there, but not what he was, because they are hurt.

"Today, I'm officially retiring a Pittsburgh Steeler. And as much as I will miss football, my teammates, coaches and everything about the game, I don't want to play it in any other uniform. The black and gold runs deep in me, and I will remain a Steeler for life."--Hines Ward
